Comment(by cscott):

 mtd: great!

 This probably won't work for *all* modules, but it should work for a good
 number of them.

 I'm hoping for a result that let's us replace (say):
 :import foo
 with
 :lazy_import('foo')
 or some such (how close to the standard python syntax can we make it?) so
 that the sugar folks can keep their 'all imports must be at the top of the
 file' coding guidelines without killing our performance.

 I look forward to seeing a patch!  This always seemed like a fun grungy
 python project to me, I just haven't had time to do it in the past six
 months... (sigh)
